First night of our honeymoon and we got a recconondation from the concierge at our hotel and we could not be happier! So delicious and great service. We shared two apps the crab cake and the bacon wrapped scallops and then shared a broiled seafood platter. We loved it! more

Fish Tacos were good. But everything else was bad. Everything was over priced, burger was over done, guacamole taste rancid, the mixed drinks tasted watered done, the view of the ocean is not very good because there is a pier that is right next door, and the service was horrible. Apparently when most of your customers are tourist and won't have a chance to come back anyway you can stay in business without doing much right. more

You pay for the unobstructed view of the ocean. I suggest doing that for free and bypassing the the bland food and typical family tourist spot. more

4 of us had an early dinner there on Friday. Food was fine. Did not have desert. Drinks had alcohol I believe couldn't tell. We spent 125.00 not counting parking. Nice view of the beach but not spectacular. Felt like a chain restaurant. The restaurant on the pier next door had a more authentic seaside feel. more

I used to enjoy the jerk wings here, however the quality has gone WAY downhill. I like my wings made fresh, not sitting under a heat lamp with little hairs on them. The decor is old, tired, and dusty. Drinks are good and stiff, but you are better off just sticking to a burger and fries here which can't be made wrong. Bathrooms are FILTHY, and I avoid them at all costs. Extremely overpriced for the value of food you get as well, your bill will be through the roof, even at lunch! Pass it up. more

The atmosphere is great right on the beach and the vibe is lively but the food was a disappointment. The restaurant was also not the cleanest. There was dust hanging from the fans and the plants that we were sitting next to. Won't go back unless its just for a drink on the beach. more

I love their weekend breakfast specials, you cant beat them on their drinks to start of your weekend. Outside of that, the service is always good. Great food and prices, but you do have to pay a premium for it. more

Great experience. Fantastic drinks, service that cared but was not overbearing, and this being with a larger party on a busy Friday night. Yummy goat cheese salad (add avocado for variety!). Even the manager was a pleasure. Will make it a place to go with out of town friends. more

One of my co-workers kept telling me to go... and boy am I glad he did! This place is awesome!!!! I am very picky about where I eat and usually stick to my normal favorites but this time I am so glad I stepped out my comfort zone and so was my family. The parking can be tricky if you go around 7pm we went at 5pm and no problem but when we left it was busy. The views are so beautiful and the atmosphere is great and its kid friendly, even my 13 year old loved it! You will not be disappointed! more

Great location but walking there is highly recommended since they charge for parking. $5 martinis on monday night were mixed well and a good size. Had the seafood stirfry. Flavor was good but rice was over cooked and although the menu boasted scallops, lobster, shrimp and fish in the dish - it was mostly fish and shrimp. Large portions. The place I really dimly lit and it was difficult to make out a lot of details about the dishes. Priced reasonably. more

Ok food is very good ate there twice during our honeymoon journey. Do have to say drinks are high priced as far as alcohol. Main complaints we just wanted a appetizer and drinks and were told to order a second one otherwise a added charge is applied for sharing. As I mentioned a appetizer how do you not share. So much for not being super hungery guess that isn't allowed here lastly took awhile for a second beer which is just sinful. I was thirsty ya know. more

3.5/5 Stars\r \r I went here today. I had a couple of really really cold beers, the service was super friendly and the food was good. My bartender recommended the bamboo chicken. The chicken was well prepared and had good flavor (the sauce was too sweet for me, but otherwise...)\r \r This was a really fun place, with very reasonable prices - I'll def be back! more

I do not understand people who complain about parking--what does that have to do with the quality of food in the restaurant? We went there twice, and had to walk two blocks to get to the restaurant. I guess posers who insist on valet parking might not like the effort of walking, but frankly, the place is better off without them.\r \r Service was very efficient and the food was delicious (conch chowder brought us back a second time). The location is just lovely--right on the beach. I thought the prices were remarkably modest, given the location and the delicious food. more

I see a lot of reviews here which are not exactly favorable. Parking can be expensive if you park at the restaurant. When i go here, i walk from The Sea Lord Hotel, a relative's house or go around the block and use metered parking which is 75cents-1buck. \r The ambiance alone is reason to just want to sit here with a drink melting in your hand. Most any cocktail here is good, although i am partial to the Cosmo and local beers offered. I have always liked the fresh salads prepared, bimini bread, and the fresh, reasonably portioned seafood. Don't miss the lobster pizza, which you must ask for as it is no longer on \r the menu! more
